Pedaling Innovations

Flatfoot question as to why are there missing pins and also why only on one side ?

 

Hi Roaster! Have you been on some good rides lately? So the latest/greatest EVO pedals have only 10 pins per side instead of 18 on the earlier versions and they screw in from the backside. With heel catchers in place the pedals are almost too grippy so I removed pins and drilled holes. The backside of the pedal almost never gets used so I left 3 pins and went Drillium crazy. Also used stainless steel pins as the factory ones can rust out here on the left coast. After all that fun and games they are still super grippy and a wee bit lighter. Apparently fewer pins equals more pressure/grip per pin. Seems to be the case.

Cheers, MAC

 

Interesting, I have two year old pedals and have pins in ALL threaded holes and pins are SS, 18 per side rode over 2 k miles NO Leg Suck position of foot NO problem Biggest problem was to get correct leg to pedal length set up. I am 5ft11inch once set up wow what a different on knees.
